"CAN YOU TURN OFF THE MUSIC!" Cameron screamed angrily.Doing as he said she walked over to the speaker, grabbed her phone and turned the music off."Thank you," he exaggerated, "I've had to listen to it for an hour straight and it's driving me insane."Why is he acting like I'm a total stranger? Olivia thought to herself, does he not recognise me? He should, I mean he is looking right at me.."Did you just move into this hallway? This dorm?" He asked."Yep, move in today." She said, nodding her head."Well then, welcome to the hall. I live next door with two guys, how many live here?" he questioned further, playing with his hands as if her was anxious, which Olivia noticed he was doing the whole time. He was also looking towards the elevator constantly."Three including me," she answered, trying to keep the talk short. Olivia wanted to see how long this charade would last for because it was starting to get quite funny."Well, if you need any help, don't be afraid to come and knock on
( Yvonne’s POV )Just like before, everyone stands as I walk in. Once they all sit, I wait.I have no idea if I'm supposed to say anything, or just wait for one of them to speak. Thankfully, I don't have to ask because an older looking woman stands. "Tichela. Owl Shifter." She looks to someone. "Now, I agree that your disappearance the past three years is befuddling, but I will not judge based on a life or death situation." Her eyes zero in on me. "But we do have some questions." I nod, motioning for her to go on. "We accept your mother as proof that this so called curse can be reversed, but what we don't understand is how she was cured. This may not be a single event, and we must know how to resolve it when it appears." She says, calm, collected. Much different than the inside of my head, which is chaotic at best.What am I supposed to say? I can't tell the truth. I also can't lie. She is one tricky cookie. "Well, um." I look around the table, and I see nothing to help me.Philip
"I just wanted a little private time." He sits up and rubs his face. "You can come in Lily." I say as I sit up.Connor glares at her and she stops in her tracks."What did I do?" She asks, looking from him to me. "Connor." He plops back on the bed and I roll my eyes at him. "Nothing. He's just being moody. What did you find?"She gives Connor a glance before coming to sit beside me. "Nothing major, just some mentions of you. It seems like you are something the Sun and Moon goddess wanted to be created.""How so?" Lily opens the book and hands it to me, pointing at something."Technically, the Sun Goddess isn't strong enough to create a creature. She exerts too much of her energy controlling the sun. Her creations are a gift, from her sister, Lunae. Lunae gives her sister the power to create a creature in her own image. I'm guessing that she's only given her enough to create the tigress, but not enough to fully recreate her sister. I mean, you have to think. The sun gives everything e
Oh my goddess, it feels so good to get out and stretch my paws. If I didn't know any better, I would think it'd been months since the last time I was allowed to run as Solis.Eesh, saying her name is weird now. What if her name is only Solis because the Sun Goddess believes that I'm her most powerful creation? And if I am, then why did she want to create me? Not only her, but why would the Moon Goddess want me to come to fruition? I thought that would be a threat to her power? Unless there's something that she can't fix. Then having someone as powerful as her sister would solve her problems. She'd just send them all to me and, because I owe myself being created to her, I'll have to help.Ugh. All of this is too much. Now I'm not only worrying about my brother and pack, but also, why on earth I exist, what I was created for.The only conversation that I've ever had with the Sun Goddess, she told me I was her greatest creation. I don't want to believe Lily, but the more I think about i
Connor leads me back into the bedroom, tossing the invitation onto a small table. "We aren't going." "I would love to agree with you, but it's the perfect opportunity to get more people to listen. I feel like I need to communicate more with them, maybe I can convince some of them that helping is the right choice. Anything is better than nothing, and right now, I'm pretty sure we're working with nothing." Connor takes a breath to say something, but then lets out a sigh.He walks towards the bed and stands in front of me. "It's not that I don't want this to succeed, but I feel like this just isn't our thing. We don't do large parties and gatherings."I nod. "We dont, but maybe we should. It benefits us to attend. It also gives everyone else a chance to relax, and have fun. We shouldn't pass it up just because we normally don't do these kinds of things." He kneels down in front of me, his head being level with mine."Alright. We'll go. I trust you to make the right decisions." He kisses
( Charlotte’s POV )I feel the sunlight burning my face. Oh dear lord, it's too early. Where's the fucking moon when you need it? Damn you sun!Squinting, I groaned as the burning light hit my eyes."What the?! Maddox! Why are the blinds open?!" I yell. I shield myself from the light and sit up from Maddox's bed. "Maddox, where are you?" I yell.All I hear is the tic of the clock. I don't sense Maddox's presence anywhere."Maddox?" I erratically jumped out of his bed."Maddox?" My breathing hoists up. No. This isn't what I think it is. He can't do this to me."Maddox?" I call for his name repeatedly. He'll come back. I know he will. I shuffle around his dorm room with a panicked face. Going back to his bedroom I look for his phone and find it in its exact spot. It's where he always keeps it.I frustratingly comb my hand through my hair.Scrolling through Maddox's contact I select his dad's number. I press the phone to my ear and silently pray that everything's okay."Maddox?" Alpha R
( Olivia’s POV )Pulling her into a hug, he placed his face into the crook of Olivia's neck and inhaled deeply several times, "Olivia! God I missed you so much, I thought something bad had happened to you when you didn't come to Morning tea, then classes and lunch. It was the same for the other guys, god I'm so glad you're okay."Rubbing her hands up and down his back she whispered comforting comments into his ear, which caused him to shiver in pleasure as her hot breath hit his neck. He pulled back minutes later and looked ather."Wha--but your-- you-hair--huh" Cameron stammered, staring at Olivia with googly-eyes and his mouth open wide.Raising her arm she placed her hand under his mouth and said, "close your mouth or you'll catch flies."Smirking at him when he had a sheepish look on hisface."Sorry, you just look so different I didn't recognise you," he said, "b- but it's not a bad difference, a good difference. I like it, it suits you." He exclaimed, trying to clear his meanin
( Olivia’s POV )Once the blackness had faded, Olivia came into view of a cell. It was dark but she could still make out what the room looked like. The room was cramped and eerie, made out of many chipped stones for the sides with dirt covering the ground. On one-side of the room there was a black stain. It made Olivia shiver as she thought about what it was. A scent of death and suffering hung in the air. Chains hung from the walls, with hammered metal shackles on the floor, which were otherwise occupied by a girl with black hair, who sat on a flimsy mattress with her back towards me."Hello? Are you alright?" Olivia called out trying to move towards her but nothing happened. Ugh I'm in a vision, she won't hear or see me and I can't move...at all she was literally stuck, like that game stuck in the mud. Anyone play that as kids?BANG!"Look, it's finally up guys. Are you ready to keep playing?" A deep, creepy voice spoke from the cell door as it opened and in came 3 big bone-chilli
( Sophia’s POV )No more! I am going to be turning eighteen soon and I will NOT allow myself to endure my family's abuse anymore!"We need to hurry, your brother is coming." My wolf, Krystle tells me.I quickly zip up my backpack and place the straps over my shoulders as I make my way to my bedroom window, that's located on the second floor. I sit on the ledge before jumping down and landing on my feet. As soon as I stand up, I overhear my father yelling out to everyone to find me and bring me back to him. Which I can't let that happen, I know how bad the punishment will be and I already have enough scars and bruises to last me a lifetime.Immediately I start running as fast as I can into the dark woods, without knowing or even caring where I'm going. I just need to get as far away from all of them as possible.Once I feel that I've gotten far enough ahead to stop and catch my breath for a moment, I stop and start trying to look around, hoping I can somewhat see a path. But then Kryst
2 YEARS LATER ( Epilogue)(Yvonne’s POV)My heart's beating fast, butterflies are going crazy all over my stomach. I try to breathe in and out a few times to try and calm my nerves. The anticipation is overwhelming as I prepare to take this momentous step in my life. Today is the day I marry the love of my life, Connor.I look at Lily, my bridesmaid, as she opens up the door and her eyes meet mine. A wave of excitement washes over her face, and she can't contain her joy as she closes the door behind her. She stands beside me, our eyes locked through the mirror reflection."Are you ready?" she asks, her voice filled with genuine enthusiasm."I think so," I reply, my voice betraying a hint of nervousness."You look beautiful," Lily reassures me, her sincerity shining through. "And trust me, Connor loves you. I guarantee he's gonna cry when you start walking down the aisle."Her words offer solace and encouragement. I take a deep breath, feeling a surge of confidence building within me.
A few years ago, I never would've expected to be walking towards the leaders of the world, and talk about my biggest secret. Now, I'm walking confidently down the corridor, ready to face the most prominent men and women across the world. I would've thought of this as terrifying all those years ago.Instead, I'm relieved. I no longer have to hide what I really am. So, as I walk into the crowded room, I don't cringe out of fear. No. I march in with confidence, and stand with all of my friends, ready to take the next step in my life.Out of the sea of faces, only one stands out to me, Edna. The second I stop walking, the room begins to kneel. It's like a wave, person after person, dropping to their knees. "Why is everyone bowing?" I ask Lily, who's to my left.She merely shrugs, just as confused as me. "I'm guessing they realize what you are, and are showing you that they don't question your claim nor title, but I'm not them."I stare at them as they bow. It's unnerving. "You don't have
Last night, I slept as peacefully as someone can when told they're the biological daughter of the goddess of the sun. It took no time to fall asleep, but my dreams were shrouded in images of Solis. A language I didn't understand drifted through my mind, and flames would burn it away. I didn't wake up too long ago, but I can tell by the lack of light seeping from behind the curtains, it's still very early.Connor is sleeping peacefully beside me, his soft snores are a sure sign he's still asleep. My body is snugly fit into his, and my head is resting on his chest.For some reason, I don't want to be awake alone, so I place a small kiss on his shoulder, then his left cheek, followed by his right. "Mmmmm." Connor shifts beneath me, groaning slightly as he stretches. His eyes open slowly and he smiles up at me. "Morning baby." Connor's arm wraps tighter around my waist pulling me closer. His eyes shut closed again and I snuggled into him. "Can't sleep?" I nod and he chuckles softly. "I w
As Connor suggested, I search for Lily and Desmond.I find them chatting in a corner, snuggled into each other.When Lily sees me, she smiles brightly. "Yvonne! Where's Connor?" She looks around and I chuckle."He's being Connor. He felt the need to check on my security with Hunter, so he sent me to come hang out with you two until he's done." Lily gives me a knowing smile."Connor just can't let up, even for one night? Who would attack you here? We're surrounded by the most powerful people in the world. Anyone crazy enough to come after you is suicidal." Desmond says, still not fully aware of the fact that I have died, and quite possibly can die again.I simply shake my head and sit down. Lily pats his shoulder and takes a seat beside me.Eventually Connor returns, but he's still tense."Everything alright?" I ask as I stand to greet him.He nods in a stiff manner. "Yes, but I don't feel as if it is." I lean up to kiss his cheek and force him to look at me with my hands."Let Hunter
**Recap**( Charlotte’s POV )I stared at my loose chains. I had finally got them loose and it took at least a half hour. I just hope they don't notice that it's loose.My hands are still burning from the silver but I had to bear with it. If I saw Broken Dean again I would immediately shift into my wolf and attack."I'm ready, are you?" I whispered."Yeah..." He trailed off silently.We both quietly waited for them to "supposedly" kill us. They're probably thinking of ways on how.The wait didn't take long. The goons entered our cell like they owned the place. They unlocked our chains from the locks on the wall and pushed us out with them holding onto our chains.They led us out in the field. There was a bon fire at the middle along with five people."You're going to enjoy your deaths. It's going to be so painful." The man said. He laughed, "No one will kill us after we're indestructible!""Shut up and bow down to our leader!"The people follow the yeller, all bowing down to Broken De
~~Dylan's POV~~ She's gone..... I can't believe she's really gone.I've been sitting on the floor, pressed into the hard wall with my head in my hands. Looking up, I see Cameron, pain etched on his face, sitting across from me in one of the hard, green chairs with the rest of our friends and family in the Hospital waiting room.All of us jump to our feet, when Mum and Dad come out of Olivia's room, tears streaming down both their faces. Father nods, singling that others can go in. We decided that Cameron should be the first one to go in, since he is Olivia's mate and he was eager to do so but he solemnly said that I should go in first since I'm her twin brother.I take in a deep breath and let it out, rubbing my hands on my jeans and pushing the thoughts to the back of my head.As I walk in through the door of her private room, I take another breath and turn the corner."Arrh, why don't they have anything decent on the TV and when's lunch, I'm hungry." I hear a female voice complain.
Olivia woke up to feel of little circles being drawn on her back and electricity running through her body where the fingers traced. Immediately she knew it was Cameron so she turned her face to look at him and saw that he was sitting up on his side, looking day at her as if she was the only person in the world.He couldn't believe that she was finally his in every way and neither could Olivia. They were each others world and nothing was going to break them apart."Morning Cam," Olivia greeted in a sleepy voice."Morning love. How are you feeling?" He asked as his fingers continued to dance around her back."Good. Amazing actually." Olivia said as her face lit up when she remembered what happened last night and blush covered her cheeks.They looked each other in the eye and started leaning in, before their lips touched Cameron whispered "I love you""Ditto," Olivia replied and their lips met cause instant fireworks.Cameron pulled her closed and the deepened thekiss.5 minutes later a
It's been weeks since word got around about Olivia's sister still being alive and It's all everyone talks about. Apart from that, there has been more sightings of rogues, no ones dies but they have received some message saying things like 'we're watching you' and 'tick-tick-tick, times running out'. But the biggest one was a dozen black Olivias delivered to Olivia with a note attached saying 'you thought your sister had it worse, still does but just you wait till we get our hands on you". That was the last straw for everyone, school was cancelled and instead we are made to train and fight for 8 hours a day. Cameron has practically moved into Olivia's room saying that he needed to be always with her and Headmaster Dean has allowed it.It's no joke... Straight after the flowers were delivered to Olivia, Cameron went to Headmaster Dean's office, told him about the Olivias and note, then said he would be moving into Olivia's room after their talk and Headmaster Dean's reply was......"oka
